I could on the other hand make a total prat of myself with remarkable ease. I still have a sneaking admiration for George though. The way he stood up to the US Senate was admirable.

Speaking of Gorgeous George, our paths nearly crossed when I was about 21. I was offered a place at Ruskin College, Oxford, which I didn't take up. Galloway did, and look where he is now! I sometimes wonder what I'd be doing now if I'd made a different decision back then.
